At the global unveiling in New York City today, Samsung debuted the latest addition to their tablet family the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and 10.5. With the tagline “Turn Up The Colour”, the Galaxy Tab S features Samsung’s most advanced display technology in the form of the WQXGA (2560 x 1600 16:10) resolution Super AMOLED display and offers 90% Adobe RGB colour coverage as well as a 100,000 to 1 contrast ratio. *More Photos Coming Up In Our Hands On*
Both the 8.4inch and 10.5inch variants come in WiFi only or WiFi + LTE variants and are powered by an Exynos 5 Octa (1.9 GHz QuadCore + 1.3 GHz Quadcore) or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3 GHz Quadcore depending on the region of the device. Powered by 3GB of RAM, 16/32GB of storage (Expandable to 128GB) and sporting an 8MP camera, the biggest difference between both devices besides the screen size is the 4,900mAh battery in the 8.4incher and a whopping 7,900mAh in the 10.5incher. Both devices are incredibly sleek at 6.6mm and weigh in at 465g for the 10.5inch and 294g for the 8.4inch. The Galaxy Tab S borrows from Samsung’s existing featureset, including the Ultra Power Saving Mode from the Galaxy S5, the fingerprint scanner enables a “multi user mode” that enables users to create their own personal optimized profile and a kids mode that brings a new kid-friendly interface in times where its needed. The Tab S 8.4 and 10.5 will come in both Dazzling White and Titanium Bronze and will be available in July 2014. Local availability has been pegged as “Soon” and we are guessing we will have it before the end of the month. Stay tuned to Lowyat.NET for a hands on with both the Tab S 8.4 and 10.5! Photos
